Two decades of experience helping financial services, legal, real estate, climate, and B2B companies and individuals earn credibility through media coverage and thought leadership. Featured in PRWeek. Former Obama for America. University of Redlands, Dean's List 2006.
Matt Yemma founded Endeavor Communications in 2025 after two decades building financial services, legal, and public affairs practices at some of the most respected PR firms in New York. The idea behind Endeavor was straightforward: senior-level PR strategy, applied directly to clients who need it, without the big-agency overhead that typically comes between a client and the strategist they actually hired.
“The companies I have always done my best work for are the ones with genuinely complex stories. Funds, law firms, real estate developers, policy shops. The kind of clients where you actually have to understand what they do before you can explain it to a reporter.”
Before founding Endeavor, Matt served as Managing Director at both RF Binder and Lyceus Group, and as Senior Vice President at Peaks Strategies, building and running practices that served clients across financial services, professional services, and B2B sectors. Earlier in his career he built a financial services practice at a mid-sized Manhattan agency and worked as an Account Executive at Intermarket Communications, where he managed communications for key financial services players during the crisis of 2007 and 2008, one of the most demanding communications environments in modern history.
That experience shaped a core belief that has defined his approach ever since: the most important PR work happens when the stakes are highest and the story is hardest to tell.
Matt began his career not in PR but in politics, working as a political operative with the Nevada Democratic Party and for the Speaker of the Nevada State Assembly, before joining Obama for America as Deputy Press Secretary. That background in high-stakes political communications gave him a foundation that most PR practitioners never get: every word scrutinized, every message contested, every deadline real.
He graduated on the Dean's List in 2006 from the University of Redlands in southern California with a BA in English: Writing.
Endeavor was founded on the premise that boutique does not mean small. It means focused. The firm works with companies and individuals nationally and internationally across financial services, commercial real estate, climate and energy, digital assets, legal and professional services, and B2B technology. Every engagement is senior-led, and every campaign is built around a genuine understanding of the client's story, not a template.
Matt also serves as PR Director for Vegas Stronger, a large nonprofit organization, bringing the same strategic discipline to mission-driven work.
Every Endeavor engagement is senior-led. When you hire Endeavor, you work with Matt, not a junior associate running your account while a partner takes the credit.
